Hello, my name is Samra
Leshinski and I live in fabulous Las Vegas, NV USA with my loving husband Don,
son Tarik, 3 dogs, 31 turtles and 9 mini dart frogs. I work at Customer Care department of Water
Company in Las Vegas. I have been making my own party invitations for several
years now, (love to throw parties) but I consider card making my hobby for
about over a year now. I ventured into actual blogging and participating in
challenges since April of this year.

If I had to pick my favorite
style that would definitely be Shabby Chic, but I try to have variety in my
work. I also base my creation on a person that will be receiving my card; what
are their interests, style and favorite colors. It makes me so happy to see big
smile on someone’s face when they receive my handmade card. I make my own
flowers for card embellishing, from daisies to roses and am still learning a
lot about all the different ways to create textures and details on a project.

I know that my card making is not going to
change the world, but spreading a little joy here and there is one small step
that I can make.

I would like to thank City
Crafter Challenge Blog for giving me this amazing opportunity to share my work
with them. DT is so talented and it is my honor to be part of this amazing

I 'm the teacher. I teach English and French. I work at
primary school this year. I draw and paint from an early childhood but it has
always been a hobby. I discovered cardmaking two years ago while I was looking
for some leisure activities on the Internet to do with my daughter. I thought
that cardmaking would be something that would allow me to boost my
passion to higher level. And I'm in love with it.

It calms me down and I have the chance to spoil my family and
friends with beautiful cards. Recently somebody has ordered my cards for
money, so maybe I will have a new job?

"Hello,
I’m Carol (aka *c*) from Just
me: c,
joining you from my small town at the edge of the scenic Rocky Mountains in
Alberta, Canada. My journey into cards began two years ago, when I decided to
make and send Happy Month Old cards to my niece, who was 2 at the time (she’s
now 4 ½ and my nephew 2 ½ - and yes, the card ‘tradition’ continues). The
‘mess’ of my first attempt sent me searching the internet for ideas; like many
of us, that initial step and the discoveries revealed sparked a ‘passion’ and
here I am, thoroughly immersed in crafting with paper, stamps, inks and dies.
I’m honoured and delighted to share my diagonal-inspired card alongside the
dazzling delights created by the incredibly talented City Crafters’ Challenge
Blog team. Thank you for inviting me to join you
